This year was the first of the newly funded BARD NEHRP project for the period 2007-2010. In consequence, this year, the field efforts have been focused on the permitting and preparation of the sites. Additionally, the upgrade to 1Hz of the BARD network has been pursued. The scientific efforts have focused on the processing of the high-rate GPS data in order to include the GPS solutions (static offsets and dynamic waveforms) in the existing monitoring system for the seismic activity in northern California (magnitude determination, moment tensor and Elarms system). Additionally, static solutions have been estimated and will be released in a peer review journal before the end of the year.
This year was noteworthy because this was the last year of operation of the PBO installation in the San Francisco Bay Area (SFBA).
